Janet Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 To kill a mockingbird by Harper Lee This is the only one on your list that I've read (so far, but who knows!) - it's great. Quote
Kylie Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 To Kill a Mockingbird is one of my very favourite books, and The Count of Monte Cristo isn't far behind - it's a mammoth read, but it's quite easy and very enjoyable. Quote
whispering_pines Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 i have heard Three Mistakes of my life is a good book. but i dont know where to get it.and i think five point someone was the best book by chetan bhagat. Quote
shelbel Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 To Kill a Mocking Bird is one of my all-time favourite books, every few years I like to reread it, just to experience the magic all over again. I am currently reading Anna Karenina, and loving it, it is one of the most stunningly beautiful novels that I have ever read. It has taken me awhile to plough through this one, as it is quite long.

Kate Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Like the others, I loved To Kill A Mockingbird. I've read it a couple of times and can't put it down. It is such a beautiful book. Highly recommended. Quote

niranjan Posted June 29, 2008 Author Posted June 29, 2008 Some more books I'll like to add to the list. Catcher in the rye by J.D.Sallinger I also am a huge fan of P.G.Wodehouse. So I plan to read some of his books also. Quote

Kylie Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 I think you'll find that you can't edit a post until you have made 10 posts (in case you're wondering where the Edit button is ) Quote

niranjan Posted July 1, 2008 Author Posted July 1, 2008 Just finished reading Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. It is a very good book. In starting young Pip encounters a convict near his town who demands food and other things from him. Pip fulfills his demand but convict is eventually caught quarelling with another convict. Some time later he is invited uptown to play with Estella who is miss Havisham's daughter. After these curious incidents he is suddenly supplied with lots of money by unknown benefactor to make him a 'gentleman'. Story proceeds with pips London stay and shocking discoveries of his life. The style of writing from the eyes of young boy. Change in his perspective by change in environment and his becoming gentleman are very effectively captured. All in all must read for all! Quote
The Library Nook Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 I started reading that years ago, several times, but never managed to finish it! I must do that one day, especially with a glowing recommendation like yuors! Quote
niranjan Posted July 5, 2008 Author Posted July 5, 2008 Just finished The evening news by Arthur Hailey. Book is gripping but the end is guessable. Overall fun to read but does not add significantly to your good reading list. Quote
niranjan Posted July 8, 2008 Author Posted July 8, 2008 Read Three mistakes of my life by Chetan Bhagat. Excerpts from review from blog named bookworm. What strikes you first about Chetan Bhagat Quote
niranjan Posted July 9, 2008 Author Posted July 9, 2008 Just finished Old man and the sea by Ernst Hemingway. Very good book. Although I had read the marathi translation before, the reading english book was a great experience. Just realized that I am diverting more and more from my original reading list. Got a new Jules Vern omnibus today and I'll start Twenty thousand leagues under the sea from tomorrow. Quote

Got a new Jules Vern omnibus today and I'll start Twenty thousand leagues under the sea from tomorrow. The Old Man and the Sea is a wonderful book, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm a bit of a Hemingway fan, I love his simplistic writing style. If your interested in reading more Hemingway, may I suggest A Farwell to Arms, it is my most favourite of his work. Quote
niranjan Posted July 11, 2008 Author Posted July 11, 2008 Sure Shelbel, I'll get and read it. Thanks! Quote
niranjan Posted July 28, 2008 Author Posted July 28, 2008 I am reading To kill a mockingbird now and till now it has been awesome. I just can't figure out how I did not read it for so many years... Quote
Janet Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 I am reading To kill a mockingbird now and till now it has been awesome. I just can't figure out how I did not read it for so many years... I was the same - I read it for the first time last year (aged 41!) and I wonder why I didn't give it a go before. Quote
niranjan Posted August 14, 2008 Author Posted August 14, 2008 aah...I am early then. Anyways I am reading count of monte cristo. So far seems like a brilliant book. Quote
